Grace and Frankie: Dolly Parton Appearance Not Likely

Is Dolly Parton coming to Grace and Frankie? According to Zap2It, an appearance from the country star on the Netflix series is unlikely.

Grace and Frankie stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda as two women whose husbands leave them for each other. Both Tomlin and Fonda starred alongside Parton in the 1980 film 9 to 5.

When asked if Parton would ever guest star on the series, co-creator Marta Kauffman said odds are low:

Here’s the deal. We’re still, I feel, creating a world and the world is ‘Grace and Frankie.’ These are characters you want to know and invest in. And the minute you bring in Dolly Parton — who I love, by the way — it’s ‘9 to 5.’ No matter what you do, the thought is, ‘Oh, look, it’s a ‘9 to 5”’ reunion,’ and you’re taken out of the show. So I will never … well, no, that’s not true. I will say there will never be a ‘Friends’ reunion movie, but I will not say ‘never’ on the Dolly Parton thing.”

Season two of Grace and Frankie was just released on May 6th.

What do you think? Do you watch Grace and Frankie? Would like to see Parton guest star? What else would you like to see happen?

I absolutely LOVE this show!!! I was hooked from the very first episode, binge watched for a week, and I just finished the last episode in season 2. Best show I’ve seen in years, for sure. The actors are wonderful and have great chemistry together, the writing is clever, and the story lines are intriguing. I’m very much looking forward to season 3.

BRAVO! Best show ever. Jane a Lily are perfection. The rest of the cast is pretty darn awesome too. Although I’m sad now that I have just finished season 2. I plan to watch season 1 and 2 again with my mother. She will love it.

Love Grace & Frankie love both Jane and Lily and have just finished watching season 2 whilst not getting any work done because I’ve been sitting in front of the TV for the last couple of days watching. Bring on season 3
